Different clinical presentations of Achilles tendinopathy: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common debilitating tendon disorder in the lower extremity. Clinical presentation of AT might differ from place to place, depending on different variables including cultural factors. This study was conducted to determine the clinical picture of AT in a group of clients referring to an outpatient orthopedics clinic in Shiraz, southern Iran. In this cross-sectional study, a convenient sample of 61 (46 female and 15 male) patients attending to a referral outpatient clinic affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences with a definite diagnosis of AT was studied. Patients with partial- or full-thickness tear of Achilles tendon, history of radicular pain or lower extremity injury, previous history of surgery on their lower extremity, and pregnant women were excluded from the study. We used Maffulli et al. (Foot Ankle Surg 26:240-9, 2020) criteria for the diagnosis of AT in our patients. The patients had a mean age of 47.7 (SD 11.1) years and mean BMI of 28.7 (4.2) kg/m
